(Wynn Varble/Leslie Satcher)

|
I've seen mornings when a thousand bales of hay
|
Looked like a mountain to a boy my age
|
And I've seen my daddy in that hot southern sun
|
Move those mountains one by one
|
|
And I've seen that same man come home from the mill
|
Pull forty hours for a hundred-dollar bill
|
I've watched him struggle and I've watched him age
|
Raising a family on a working man's wage
|
|
I grew up on a working man's wage
|
Blood, sweat and tears on every dollar he made
|
For the little he earned there was so much he gave
|
And I hope I am worthy of a working man's wage
|
|
I pick this guitar six nights a week
|
Daddy can't believe they're paying me
|
It would be so easy to let it go to my head
|
But there's just one thing that I can't forget
|
|
I grew up on a working man's wage
|
Blood, sweat and tears on every dollar he made
|
For the little he earned there was so much he gave
|
And I hope I am worthy, I hope I am worthy
|
Of a working man's wage
|
|
I've seen mornings when a thousand bales of hay
|
Looked like a mountain to a boy my age
|
